Tetras in a 29?

[white specter crayfish]

I may get a 29 (20x12x18) and may go for some tetras, I plan on going for rummynose and or red eyed tetras, how many tetras could I keep in there? how many of each (if I can mix them), I know I want atleast 10 of one type of the tetras, 10-20 otocinclus, and maybe 10 or so cory cats

I have a group of Runny Nose in my 29 and they look good.

Personally I would do one group. In a larger aquarium yes.

hmmmmmm. so 10-20 rummynose/red eyed rather than 10 rummynose and 10 red eyed?

Yes just the 10 Rummy nose for my 29 gallon. If aquarium was a 55 or larger maybe 2 different types of Tetra.

oh, ok, I do know I want 20 or so otocinclus and 10 or so salt and pepper cories, but I don't think they'll take up much space
